Where Did Summer Go?

Where did summer go? How is it the last day of August already? Summer is always filled with fun activities for our family and I always hate to see it come to an end.

The highlight of our summer might have been our whitewater rafting adventure down the Salmon River. A first for us as a family, and a first for all of us except my husband. I'll admit that I was nervous about this adventure - but it ended up being awesome! In fact, we are planning another trip next summer.

We spent the rest of our summer enjoying our usual summertime activities: swimming, boating, and tubing. We also went to the races and demo derby. As well as a Seattle Mariners baseball game and a Spokane Indians baseball game. And lets not forget the zoo!

Fires around the area kept us out of the forest and on "edge" since they were so close to home and my parents house. We have all stayed safe thus far, and finally got some much needed rain!

We
didn't make it to the Oregon Coast or get to go camping like we have
every other summer... but that didn't make our summer any less
memorable.We still have one last week before the kids head back to school. How are we going to spend our last weekend of summer vacation? We are going to end summer with a "BOOM" by attending a Seattle Seahawks game!How was your summer? What memories did you make with your family over summer vacation?

wow I had a quiet summer, not anything to write about, but still enjoyable. This rafting adventure does look wonderful fun! I'd probably be a little nervous, too, but those life jackets make it look pretty safe!
